They also don't make any distinction between big mistakes and small slips of the tongue. Even just on the T side, they often seem to equate "thinking Haley was Democratic Speaker of the House on 1/6" with "mixing up Sioux Falls and Sioux City." That creates two completely false assumptions: (1) that people are supposed to be perfect and never make small slips (>> Biden is equally weak, because he sometimes makes small slips) and/or (2) that T's giant brain farts are insignificant.

This is an excellent comment. I wish the media would distinguish between slips of the tongue and big mistakes that suggest mental decline. Sioux Falls and Sioux City....anyone could make that mistake.

People in Iowa/South Dakota wouldn’t.
